Question: Why Allah created people different in appearance and character?

Answer:

Ibn Abbas (R.A.) answering this question said: "Allah created humans from the earth, and the earth was a different color".

Separation of people based on skin color and different types of characters indicates the boundless wisdom and power of the Most High Creator. Allah bestowed the gift of mind upon man and originality of character for knowledge Majestic Allah. Everyone has his or her own way of learning. Someone is destined to reach the goal, someone - no. And, as mentioned in the Holy Quran:

"Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way". (The Quran, 17:84)

Everyone has granted him a character, which is formed in the womb together with the appearance of man. Man was created from the earth, then will return to the earth, then the Almighty will revive him or her again on Judgment Day.
